Heading 1205 — Rape or colza seeds; whether or not broken
Chapter 12: Oil seeds; miscellaneous grains
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 120510 when importing or exporting low erucic acid rape or colza seeds, whether broken or not. For example, if you're shipping a bulk container of unprocessed rape seeds for oil extraction, this code applies.
This code specifically covers oil seeds that have low levels of erucic acid, making them suitable for food and feed applications. In contrast, HS-6 120590 pertains to other rape or colza seeds that may not meet the low erucic acid requirement.
When classifying under this heading, it's important to note that broken seeds also fall under this code. If you have a shipment of crushed or ground low erucic acid rape seeds, you would still use HS-6 120510.
Be aware that this classification is distinct from other seed types, such as sunflower or soybean seeds, which have their own specific codes under the same chapter.
